How? I read the "Sterile Insect Technique" was significantly cheaper?

I think they are still doing that, just a lot more expensive on a wider area within the US instead of narrow part of central America

To clarify for anyone reading: the technique is the same wherever you do it. What's cheaper is that you can take advantage of the natural geographic chokepoint that is the ismuth of Central America to treat a smaller area. But these boneheads think... I dunno, somehow Nicaragua is freeriding on the US when we do treatment there instead of spending 100x the money doing it all over the continental USA.
